Noodles recent feat of making three consecu-
tive home in three times at bat recalls
many remarkable batting feats. Jones. of the
Bostons, made two home runs in one inning

home runs in one game. five being in five con-
secutive times at bat Harry Wright once made
seven in game Tho Athletics once made
twenty five home runs in a game three players
making FIVE each.
While practicing in the field before the game
was called, yesterday. Charley Eden Injured his
knee again in running for a ball, and it made
him so lame that at the last moment he had TO
give up the intention of PLAYING. Last night he
turned over TO Manager Thomas the key to his
locker, and returned to his position on tho Big
Four road, stating that he feared he would never
be able to return regularly to ball playing His
friends are greatly disappointed. and he himself
is somewhat disheartened over the matter.
That was a very cute trick of Captain Glass
cocks in the eighth inning yesterday. and one
which added an earned run to the homo teams
score. McGeachy was on third. waiting a chance
to steal home. whom Glasscock gently knocked
the ball about half way to first base. McKinnon
got it. but in doing SO had to leave his position
and run toward the batter When Captain G.
saw that he could not reach first without run
hirg into the arms of the baseman, he came TO a
halt. forcing Mckinnon to either come further
from his base go back. aud by the time Glass
cock was put out the trick had served its pur-
pose by allowing McGeachy to tally. The Pitts
burger rather crestfallen at missing his
chance to make double play. and will probably
watch the king of short stops more closely in the
future
